Abstract

A load support including a central body mounting assembly and a shoulder mounting assembly associated with the central body mounting assembly, the shoulder mounting assembly including first and second shoulder engagement elements which are arranged to be supported by first and second shoulders of a user, the first and second shoulder engagment elements being interconnected such that orientation of a first shoulder of the user higher than his second shoulder produces a corresponding orientation of the first and second shoulder engagement elements, thus maintaining a desired load distribution between the two shoulders independent of the relative orientation thereof.
